Start/Stop timer for tasks

In WOTRACK and Quick reporting:

It would be helpful if there were a start/stop timer for tasks that workers could use to easily start and stop their task labor actuals (with the click of a button).

It would be more efficient to use a timer than manually type in an exact start and stop time. And the picklist with 15-minute increments isn't suitable/precise enough for our use cases. We need exact times with the click of a button.

We're aware that there is an OOB timer that can be added to WOTRACK and Quick Reporting. But that timer is only designed to work on the main WO. It's not designed to work for tasks in the actuals tab of a WO.

We're also aware that similar functionality exists in the Activities and Tasks application. But we want task timer buttons to be right in WOTRACK and Quick Reporting...so that workers can keep things simple by staying in those applications. It can be confusing for non-technical people to navigate away from the main application they use.

It's more efficient to work in a single application like WOTRACK.


Note:

It's relatively straightforward to implement this kind of thing with Java. We know, because we've done it. Although, it would be better if it were OOB. Thanks.
